Commercial Parking Lot Striping in College Station & Bryan TX
Bryan-College Station TX • Brazos County • Texas A&M & SH-6
We travel to the Bryan-College Station area for commercial striping projects, and it is a market with real, distinct commercial districts. In College Station there is everything around Texas A&M, the student-heavy retail, apartment complexes, and the Northgate entertainment district by campus, plus Century Square and the Texas Avenue and University Drive corridors. In Bryan there is the restored Historic Downtown, the Blinn College area, and the older established commercial along the Texas 6 corridor that connects the two cities. It is a large university market with steady commercial turnover.
Bryan and College Station are separate incorporated cities in Brazos County, each with its own city fire department. Fire lane work runs through the City of College Station or the City of Bryan depending on where the property sits. We work to the city process for each.

Brazos Valley Climate & What It Does to Your Lot
Brazos Valley summers are hard on painted asphalt. From May through September, surface temperatures on dark pavement regularly run past 130°F, well above what most traffic paint was tested at.
Summer UV breaks paint binders down faster here than in most regions, and it stacks with heat radiating off the asphalt. Most commercial lots in the Bryan-College Station area need restriping every 18 to 24 months. The high-traffic university-area and retail lots can run shorter, especially with the heavy student turnover.
The region takes on significant rainfall through the year. The wet-dry swing, heavy spring storms followed by dry summer heat, wears paint faster than steady rain would. We use professional-grade traffic paint that holds up longer than typical contractor-grade material.
Fire Code in Bryan-College Station: Which City Has Jurisdiction
Fire lane jurisdiction in the Bryan-College Station area depends on which city the property is in. The City of College Station Fire Marshal handles commercial properties in College Station, and the City of Bryan handles those in Bryan, each enforcing the city’s adopted fire code. Either way, the marking requirements are consistent: continuous red curb on the fire lane, white “NO PARKING / FIRE LANE” stenciling at set intervals, and specific stencil sizes and spacing.
The large university-area, retail, and apartment properties have extensive fire lane requirements. New layouts and major repainting go through the right city’s plan review. Standard restriping does not. We can quote either.
ADA Compliance in the Bryan-College Station Area
ADA-compliant parking in the Bryan-College Station area follows the Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS), which apply statewide regardless of city. Stall counts depend on your total parking, with at least one of every six accessible stalls being van-accessible. The International Symbol of Access has to be visible at each stall, and curb-cuts, access aisles, and signage all need to meet TAS spec.
The student apartment complexes and university-area retail carry heavy accessible-parking demand, and the older lots in downtown Bryan sometimes have legacy striping that pre-dates current TAS. If you are due for a re-stripe, that is the natural time to bring the ADA portion up to current spec. We can also retrofit the ADA work on its own without redoing the whole lot if budget is tight.
Accessible stalls have to be the closest spaces to the entrance along the shortest accessible route. On the larger apartment and retail properties with multiple buildings, that can mean ADA stalls spread across the lot. We work that out with the property manager before paint goes down.

Services We Offer in Bryan-College Station
We do the full range of pavement marking work on Bryan-College Station lots. The most common request is full lot restriping, refreshing stall lines, ADA markings, fire lanes, and directional arrows on a sound surface. New layouts are a bigger lift, measuring and marking a new parking configuration from a blank slab, often after sealcoat or for new construction. Student apartment complexes in particular cycle through restriping regularly.
Beyond stalls, we paint fire lanes (red curb, “NO PARKING” stenciling, lane edge), ADA markings (blue background, white ISA, access aisles), bollards and car stops, directional arrows, high-visibility speed bump paint, crosswalks, reserved-space stenciling, and EV charging space markings.
